My all time favourite Swedish artist


Carl Larsson was a Swedish painter and interior designer
(1853-1919)
My all time favourite artist and source of inspiration
 

An assortment of books with Carl Larsson's art

 
Carl Larsson painted his and his family's life in Dalarna, 
a county in the middle of Sweden.

 

If you ever travel to Sweden,
I'd suggest a visit to Carl Larsson's home in Sundborn.
I was there once in the mid 1980's.
My dream is to return and experience the beauty as an adult.

  2. My husband's heritage is Swedish, so I am most interested in this post. I'll look for more of Larsson's work. Really like the self portrait.

  3. I had a wonderful book from the library, all about the family and its life, and wonderfully illustrated. I shall have to go back and fine it again - it would be wonderful to find it in a used book store.

  4. He was a wonderful artist! And his home was wonderful, too. How I would love to see that in person, some day. My Swedish ancestors came from Strangnas, (not far from Stockholm), so I would love to see that town as well.
